water damaged battery

I have an LX 1200 that keeps shutting down on a charged battery. Phone works, just that it keeps shutting down. Works all the time on the charger. Store looked at inside of battery on bottom and saw a little orange dot. Says its water damage and must buy new phone. I'm thinking just a new battery. Does anybody know about this dot indicating water damage to the battery?

I believe the only water on phone was from rain. Can that be enough to cause a battery to go bad? Should I stock up on batteries if this is the case?

Peace

Thats a load of crap....

They will charge you $500 for a phone they paid $10 for but when if comes to fixing something they tell you to buy another..

What you should do is throw it out the window and collect on a lost phone after you put insurance on it. HEHE it works if you want a new phone.....Then go and
then
